Use this section by event, accusation or role
Criminal-law assistance for cultural heritage, archaeological objects, art, antiquities, provenance, customs detention and alleged unlawful export from Georgia.
An object, excavation, transaction or export is questioned and ownership, origin, authenticity, authorisation and cultural status must be established before irreversible steps occur. The correct legal route depends on the documents, the participant's procedural status, the investigating authority and the current stage—not simply the label attached to the accusation.
Our organising principles
Identify the object's legal and cultural classification
Preserve provenance, title and customs documentation
Distinguish ownership disputes from criminal conduct
Coordinate experts, customs, museums, collectors and foreign counsel
